Eh......I need to be careful the way I reply here so please understand that, I don't want to come off as a sales guy here.

Think of Opti-Coat as a polymer sealant on mega-steroids. It has all the properties of a sealant but with extended durability, up to 3 or more years.

The testing was done over normal washing, with no additives such as spray waxes, qd's or anything extra in the form of paste waxes, sealants, etc. I used rubbing alcohol to try and remove it but it had no effect. Even polishing took several passes before it would fully remove areas of the product that had streaked. This was using a rotary, FPII and a polishing pad. Some have also ran their cars through car washes many times with no loss of beading and the unique way it sheds water.

Some testers have reported that it does add to the film thickness and one painter had difficulty repainting a car we had it on because he only scuffed the paint up and did not fully sand it down.

I'm not positive about the marring issue but some tester have stated it does reduce marring.....this though may be seen as subjective and of course washing and drying habits will effect how it looks and also lasts.

As I noted previously the term "permanent" can be descriptive of anything that lasts a year or more. Even paint or clear coat itself is not truly permanent as it can be polished off, wear off, etc.

As soon as I clear off my camera card I'll put up a few pictures of a Porsche we just did with the coating.
